SETTING RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVEL
ABOUT THE HYGROSTAT
The appliance is fitted with a hygrostat. It measures the relative air
humidity and automatically switch-es off humidification in the appliance when
the desired value is reached. The internal ventilation remains switched on to
guarantee an exact display of the relative humidity level. If the relative
humidity falls below the desired level, the humidification automatically
switches on again.
A relative humidity of between 40% and 60% is recommended. The setting for the
relative humidity ranges from a minimum of 30% to a maximum of 70% or “Co”
continuous operation.
SETTING RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVEL
The setting buttons allow the user to select the de-sired relative humidity level in steps of 5%:
During the selection process, the desired value is blinking. The word DESIRED appears on the display.
After a few seconds, the display automatically switches to the value of the current relative humidity and reads CURRENT. When the desired value is reached, the display reads both DESIRED and CURRENT.
DISPLAY “E2”
When “E2” appears on the display, the current relative humidity level has reached 90%. The appliance automatically switches off for safety reasons. Once the relative humidity level falls below 85% again, the appliance switches on again.
QUICK DISPLAY
When the appliance is switched off, the current relative humidity can be shown in the display by briefly pressing the setting buttons:
This display automatically goes out after a few seconds.
OPERATING MODES
AUTO MODE
When switched on, the appliance is in AUTO mode, which is indicated by this symbol:
AUTO
The desired relative humidity level is preset to 50% in AUTO mode. The
appliance selects the suitable performance level Low “L” / Medium “M” / High
“H” to reach the relative humidity value of 50% as soon as possible.
In AUTO mode, the target value can be modified at any time using the output
button. This switches off AUTO mode, and the appliance is now in manual mode:
SLEEP MODE
Pressing the SLEEP button allows for switching from AUTO mode to SLEEP mode and back:
The desired relative humidity level is pre-set to 45% in SLEEP mode. The appliance selects the suitable performance level Low “L” / Medium “M” to reach the value of 45% using as little energy as possible:
In SLEEP mode, the relative humidity level can be modified at any time using
the setting buttons.
If the performance level is modified using the output button, SLEEP mode
switches off automatically, and the appliance is then in manual mode:
Pressing the SLEEP button twice activates SLEEP mode again.
MANUAL MODE
The appliance can be operated at three performance levels. Pressing the output
button switches between the low “L” (night mode), medium “M” (normal mode) and
high “H” (high performance mode) levels:
The desired performance level is shown in the display:
TIMER
ABOUT THE TIMER
The appliance has a switch-off timer and a switch-on timer.
SWITCH-OFF TIMER
Pressing the timer button while the appliance is switched on sets the switch-
off timer:
The display now indicates (blinking) after what time the appliance will be
switched off:
You can use the setting buttons to set the switch-off time in a range from 0h
to 9h. After three seconds without input, the set value is activated, and the
timer symbol is displayed.
The display again indicates the current relative humidity level. You can press
the timer button once more to check or change the time that remains until
switching off.
SWITCH-ON TIMER
Pressing the timer button while the appliance is switched off sets the switch-
on timer:
The display now indicates (blinking) after what time the appliance will be
switched on:
You can use the setting buttons to set the switch-on time in a range from 0h
to 9h. After three seconds without input, the set value is activated. The
display shows the set switch-on time and the timer symbol.
The appliance is in AUTO mode after switching on.
CLEANING
ABOUT THE CLEANING SYMBOL
The cleaning symbol in the display indicates that the appliance must be
cleaned:
The symbol automatically goes off when descaling mode is ended.
To make the symbol disappear manually, press both setting buttons at the same
time for about five seconds.
DESCALING MODE
Descaling mode allows for easy cleaning and descaling of the evaporator basin,
water base and steam tube.
Only use CalcOff for descaling. Damage caused by other descaling agents is
excluded from the warranty.
DESCALING
Make sure that no water flows into the ventilation opening.
-
Remove the A451 Anti-Mineral-Pad.
-
Dissolve one bag of A7417 CalcOff in 1 liter (0.26 US gal) of hot water.
-
Pour the solution directly into the water base.
-
Insert the steam tube.
-
Put the appliance cover back on.
-
Press the cleaning button for five seconds:
The appliance switches to descaling mode. The dis-play shows the timer symbol and the value “4h”.
You can use the setting buttons to
set the descaling between 1h to 9h depending on the degree of limescale build-
up. The value is accepted after three seconds without input.
The appliance heats the mixture every 30 minutes and switches off again after. You can adjust the cleaning time at any time using the setting buttons. After the cleaning process has been completed, the value “0h” is displayed and the cleaning symbol blinks. Press the power button to terminate descaling mode and switch off the appliance. -
Drain the appliance and thoroughly rinse the basin with tap water.

A451 ANTI-MINERAL-PAD
ABOUT THE A451 ANTI-MINERAL-PAD
The A451 Anti-Mineral-Pad absorbs most of the calcium during operation. It
minimizes the excess limescale build-up in the evaporator basin and reduces
the frequency of the need for descaling.
Once the A451 Anti-Mineral-Pad is completely filled with calcium, it must be
replaced. You can recognize a full pad by its solid feel. Depending on the
degree of water hardness, replacement can be necessary every two to four
weeks. The A451 Anti-Mineral-Pad can be disposed of with household waste.
There may be boiling water in the evaporator basin! Remove the pad only after
the water has cooled.
Put only one pad into the evaporator basin.
A451 ANTI-MINERAL-PAD
